Community Interest -
Figure as you will, you can't get away from the idea
of co .immunity interest. We who consititute the local com*
munity are intensely dependent on one another. When we
buy our merchandise from out-of-town concerns, we take
that much business away from local business firms. If
enough business is withdrawn from them, they’ll eventually
have to quit. Then Plymouth would shrivel up. Clerks and
laborers and tradesman would have to move away. That
would directly affect the value of our homes and farms.
Then, who would pay the taxes that support our public
institutions, build and maintain our streets and roads and
pay the interest on public indebtedness already incurred?
Our self-interest, the safety of our pioperty investments de
mand that we trade at home and support our local business
men. If anyone thinks he can refute this argument, we will
give a year’s subscription to The Roanoke Beacon for a
logical argument in favor of trading with mail ordjr
houses.
We have continually tried to persuade the people of
this county to exhaust the offers of the local market in an
endeavor to have their wants satisfied, and to order goods
only as a last resort. Of course, there are many articles that
cannot be found in the stores of local merchants and then
it becomes necessary for the purchaser t6 look elsewhere for
the article he needs. Suppose, however, that everbody were
to try their local businessmen first. Pretty soon these mer
chants would realize that they would have to enlarge their
stocks, and the result would be that practially all your wants
could be filled right here at home.
It is a duty all of us owe to our community. That’s the
way to keep community spirit alive.
